i can play the eastern version of it which is called a tabla which looks like these
and here are tribal drums
but to answer your question, these are bongo drums
you can strap on a pair of these and they are played with regular snare drum sticks or the special bongo sticks depending on what sound u want. The difference is only in the make of the drum. The more modern bongos can be played with the regular drum sticks but the more traditional ones require more expensive sticks that have a special tip... they both roughly make the same sound to the average ears.
on a side note, the main difference between bongos and tribal drums is that bongos can be tuned very much like a snare drum. Tribal or tabla can't be tuned and you can never get a pair of the same size to sound alike. With bongos, u can have that luxuary of having the same drums in tune.
